@swtrains_watch @SW_Help As long as a ticket office can print you a journey plan when you arrive at the station I don't see it as a m***ive problem. A good reason to staff all stations.

@SW_Help as a woman alone shoved off a train in a dark unlit destination, and believe me, the guard saw this and was not comfortable with the sudden change in route, what the **** was the issue that you had to do that??

@swtrains_watch @KeaneJohn69 @SW_Help Not forgetting the option to ring NRES. Often suspicious of money saving initiatives like this but it probably is only a very few outlying cases that would be an issue. Still useful to have conventional format TT available on line as journey planners don't work for everything

@SW_Help ****o, there is an issue with the app, on the service between Poole and Eastleigh on the live times section, when I look at the 10:55 for example, it says to Winchester on the main departure screen, but when I tap on it it says it’s only going as far as Eastleigh. Thanks.

@SW_Help ****o me and my mate were train-spotting at clapham junction and got approached by a member of staff that said we require a permit to spot there and if we didn’t we can be fined or arrested.
Is this true as we never had this issue before.

@SW_Help “1 minute” but can guarantee the slower train will be asked to move. And then they’ll all miss it. Just run 15 minutes behind. You’re later than that most of the time anyway, so there’s no problem.

Once again, @SW_Help letting themselves down. Deciding not to stop at stations between Salisbury and Waterloo as they’re 15 minutes late. Now my ex partner will be stuck at Salisbury for 45 minutes with my 5 year old. Joke.

@BudeBungler @SW_Help @TfL Hi Calum, it's called the 'East Putney' line, and you're correct, we do go down the District Line on occasions; this is usually to enable trains to get to the depot (which is at Wimbledon Park) easier.

I know I’ve has a drink, but I’m absolutely certain my @SW_Help train is going down the @TfL District line to Wimbledon. I got on at Waterloo and have just gone past Wimbledon Park station... Is this a giant tube train? Unexpected extension of the District Line to Waterloo? 😂

With p***enger numbers still 40% down I hear the "management" are seeking voluntary redundancies among South Western Railway drivers. Since they make £65,000-a -year for less than 35 hours a week I can't see them queuing up to go.
